Puchacz New Cautionary Tale/Tail

OK as long as speed is sufficient to keep elevator authority. No Guy, my Puchacz went to Brazil and all the ad's were complied with! Cheers, JJ rudder? what's that? Brad "Cessna driver"

rudder? what's that? It's a mere Cartesian abstraction; the horizontal projection of a ruddervator. Thanks, Bob K.
